Manuela Valle-Castro

Dr. Manuela Valle-Castro holds a PhD in gender, race, sexuality and social justice, and a MA in women’s and gender studies from UBC. Growing up in Chile under Pinochet’s dictatorship shaped her views as an anti-neoliberal feminist, as well as her commitment for social justice and human rights in Latin America.

In the future, we may be able to point to the Women’s March on Washington in Saskatoon as the critical moment when all our scattered struggles came together as we realized how capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy, imperialism, and heterosexism are interconnected.
